Mission: modify technology before it modifies us

How long can you focus on any one task? Get distracted easily, feel the need to check your phone? You’re not alone.

“We live in a time where we are constantly bombarded with information.

Distractions from social media notifications, emails, breaking news and pop up messages have become the norm.

Have we lost our ability to focus on what really matters?

We have to modify technology before it modifies us.”
